adidas x Pokémon Samba OG – Purple Sneakers

adidas x Pokémon Samba OG (Mewtwo) is one of the most talked-about sneakers this season – a limited-edition model from the adidas Originals x Pokémon collection, celebrating Pokémon’s 30th anniversary, now on sale at Footshop. The Ice Lavender colorway and Mewtwo graphic on the tongue make this one of the most distinctive takes on the iconic Samba OG.

adidas x Pokémon Samba OG Mewtwo – Where Does the Purple Come From?

Mewtwo gets its own Samba OG in this broader collection where Pokémon teams up with adidas Originals to mark 30 years. The legendary Pokémon’s face sits on the tongue, while the heel is covered in a glossy purple material. A standout detail is the updated eyelet layout near the toe – three lace holes nodding to Mewtwo’s three fingers. Completing the look are Poké Ball–shaped dubrae.

Leather, Suede & Rubber – What the Mewtwo Samba OG Is Made Of

The build stays true to the classic Samba OG: the upper combines smooth leather with suede overlays on the toe, all set on a low rubber outsole with signature grooving. It’s a proven formula for decades, now elevated with Pokémon universe motifs.
